Hello, I have a problem with the installation of gentoo.
Problem.
I get something as output:
usage: q <applet> <args> : invoke a portage utility applet.
But I don't know what it is and how to fix it.
But since I have this output, grub-install doesn't do anything anymore.
It's the same with “grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg” with the difference that it doesn't say something like
“Adding boot menu entry for UEFI Firmware Settings ...
done” is generated as output.
| Code: |
$grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/efi --bootloader-id=GRUB --removable
usage: q <applet> <args> : invoke a portage utility applet
currently defined applets:

Installing for x86_64-efi platform.

Well that's definitedly strange.
It's like grub-mkconfig ran q, without any arguments and then exited.
Please run the following commands: | Code: | | command -V grub-mkconfig |
and
Also re-re-check your grub configs.
Paste the contents of any modified grub configs here if you don't spot any errors.
EDIT: My guess is you tried to exit your editor with ctrl+q (or similar), but accidentally typed only q, which was then left in your config file which is being sources as a shell script.
You get almost the same output just by running command q.
